Definitely a sensationalist headline as it really isn't "virtually impossible" to block but this is an interesting new tracking method nonetheless.
Do these people read other tech articles? Besides Privacy Badger from the EFF, you can still use a VPN, provided you can afford $40/year. I use Private Internet Access, they've even funded at least one privacy awareness campaign. Edit: VPN may not entirely circumvent this, actually...Users can either use Tor...
Sorry that I offended you... Chris Smith? Wanna buy some numbers, kid?push some numbers
No, sorry, I think I came across wrong. I'm with you on how easy it is to work around this type of tracker, I posted the article more to showcase this type of tracker (since I haven't heard of it before) than to point out the authors inaccuracies. Hence my short description on it being sensationalist.
Ahh, alright, that's fair. To be sure, the "fingerprinting method" is worth knowing about, but you're spot on about the sensationalism. Cheers!
